Spectacular storefront in the St. Pancras shopping center. Bright, smartly laid out shelves with a strong selection of books. But what really stood out during my visit was the passion of the booksellers. I watched a pair of employees make a dozen recommendations to two young kids...gushing over plots, checking appropriateness, making comparisons. They engaged these young readers as peers, equals and confidants. There was conspiracy, mischief and respect that went so far above and beyond what could have been a dull retail experience. They knew their books, these two, both old and new...and had such a genuine love for their work. The kids walked away with new books and a gleam in their eyes. The shop is no bookstore with employees like these...it is a portal to the imagination, and I am so glad they exist.

This bookstore maybe a bit smaller than other Hatchards you may find in London but it is just as welcoming. The staff in particular are excellent and will go out of their way to make sure you're happy with your purchase. My own experience: I had a book delivered to this store for pick up, but unfortunately my book was damaged during the production process. The manager of the store went out of his way over the weekend to collect the same book (in very limited stock around London) so that I could pick up my replacement asap; needless to say I was surprised by this offer but super grateful!

An incredibly beautiful bookstore. Excellently curated stock, with personal recommendations and really lovely displays. Also older rare books and some ingenious choices. Quiet, peaceful airy and neat, a real oasis of calm in a busy station. Staff are on hand to help and the level of non-book is right. Possibly the best book shop in a train station in the UK (bar the 2nd hand railway carriage of books at Horsted Keynes on the Bluebell railway) It's in unit 7 - so further in the station than on the map currently. And the Francis Bacon window. Gosh.

One of the few remaining bookstores that is small, and whose staff actually read books. They are great at giving recommendations once they know what you usually read. Just outside the store, it used to have a café area and one of the pianos that are available at st. pancras for anyone to use. I spent the best time reading, sipping coffee, having a brownie, and listening to piano music. Unfortunately, the café area is gone and the piano has been placed elsewhere. Let me know if they bring them all back :)

Really nice bookstore and has a very calming atmosphere inside, books are nicely organised and everything is clearly labelled. You can spend up to 30 minutes looking for a book for the train journey. There are also lots of little accessories like moleskin notes pads, pens and even boards games. You can also get a free bookmark with a purchase of a book and there is a loyalty system in places so if you travelling on trains a lot then grab a loyalty card and gather some points!

Always a pleasure to walk into this magical place. Love their collection of gifts and the all the books from classics to the new releases are available. I especially enjoyed their illustrated collection of books on the lives of great women such as Marie curie. You’ll never leave the place without a book or two. You can also buy Hatchards tote jute bag for all your books on the go. A brilliant book shop and conveniently located at st. Pancras.

Great bookshop. A pleasant place to pass some time waiting for the train. Also super friendly staff... When a book I ordered didn't arrive on time to pick it up in person, they proposed to send it to my home in Belgium, free of charge. A few days later, it arrived on my doorstep as promised. Thank you very much! Bart

Very nice shop, super helpful staff. I was wondering what book to get as a gift and the assistant was extremely helpful, suggested several books and really took her time. Her colleague also clearly knew the book. Both very knowledgeable and friendly, despite the shop being very busy ahead of Christmas!

Definitely an excellent bookstore. Unlike most train station "bookstores" which are pretty much travel supply stores that sell a few books as a sideline, this is a genuine bookstore with a nice broad selection and a wonderful atmosphere. A great place for browsing while waiting for a train.

Excellent bookshop, a must- visit for book lovers. Books on the table displays are tastefully laid out, featuring the best and most memorable in classic English literature. Get an English classic for your train journey. Knowledgeable staff, no upselling, they let you browse at your leisure

It's a nice enough shop - basically a small fancy Waterstones, but they have a tendency to try to charge you more than the price on the cover for books if you don't notice. 'Tourist Prices' you could call it. I wonder how much they make in

Great little bookshop that I always visit if I've got time between trains. Lots of table displays so you don't have to hunt through shelves to discover books. You can also tell staff ate genuine book-lovers.

Great variety of books that cater to every interest and taste, the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Worth a visit for anyone looking for a great selection of books and excellent customer service!

Fan de livre, vous serez à votre place ! Il y en a pour tous les goûts et l’ambiance est réconfortante. Seul soucis pour moi ? Une sélection YA assez réduite pour une fan de ce genre

Beautiful bookshop with other high end reading related homewares and children's items. So well laid out so the books captivate and look Intriguing . Beautiful travel books too.

Really nice shop. Lovely decor and a good selection of books. Shame it opened late today which prevented me from going in to make my purchase before boarding my train.

Why don't they have a bookshop like this in Toronto's Union Station??? Though it's not as large as the flagship Hatchard's in Piccadilly, this bookshop

Great to have a bookshop in St Pancras. Good range of popular books. Found a couple to read - Algorithms to live by and Marcus Aurelius's Meditations.

Los dependientes super majos y atentos,la libreria esta justo en san pancras pared con pared con el hotel del rodaje de wannabe (visita asegurada)

We visited this bookshop last week and were helped by a very friendly lady who has a lot of love and passion for books. Beautiful bookstore.

Owned by Waterstones. Friendly helpful staff, large selection of books. I kind of miss Foyles, but there's probably not a huge difference.

Great book shop with really friendly and knowledge staff, had a great conversation about Terry Pratchett while purchasing a few things

Fui buscando la edición inglesa de los libros de Albert Espinosa y su personal no dudó em ayudarme con la búsqueda; muy bien situado.

I love the place. I cannot remember one visit without having bought some good books. The stuff is really lovely and helpful too.

Helpful staff who were polite, attentive, and knowledgeable about literature. They made me want to buy more books...

Attended the signing of Jay Kristoff. The staff were lovely and very helpful and knew how to hype the attendees

Great bookshop. Sure to find something worthwhile to read for your journey. Super knowledgeable helpful staff.

The previous shop might have been smaller but had a better selection, more gifts and fewer book now :-(

I appreciate the friendliness and genuine desire to help of the staff. Also, really like the location!

Great experience here 23/06, really friendly and helpful guy working and a great selection of books

Very conveniently located at the King's Cross St Pancreas St. Good place to do book browsing …

Fantastic bookstore. Like leaving Saint Pancras station behind and stepping into another world

Hermoso lugar...la station arquitectonicamente sublime ..ordenado...limpio y bien señalizado

Plenty big enough but the entry is very tight, a better layout would make it even better

Great place to get lost while waiting for your train. Good selection of books and gifts.

Interesting little gem at a place where a good way of killing time is most needed. :)

Popped in for some book tokens for a birthday present. The service was adequate.
